|  |  | As someone who's interested in pentesting and red-teaming in general, I'm wondering what are some more dangerous AI/ML or LLM related vulnerabilities besides your usual prompt injection. Specifically, what kinds of flaws are harder to catch with typical pentesting methods, and how do you think pentesters are going to have to change to find them? |
